Footbridge Extension
The footbridge extension extends the current footbridge over Fairfield Road to provide easy access to the station. The footbridge extension was originally to be delivered with the Queensland Tennis Centre in 2007, but was pulled. The construction started 8 July 2010 and was completed and opened to the public on 29 December 2010 in time for the 2011 Brisbane International.

Famous quotes containing the words footbridge and/or extension:
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Slavery is founded on the selfishness of man’s nature—opposition to it on his love of justice. These principles are in eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
